My mother fled communist Cuba when Fidel Castro came in 1959. So I'm very familiar with what communism does. My mother fled the country, leaving her father behind. She came with her mother here, and The regime ended up stealing my family's home, their small business, which was a gas station that my grandfather had. And my mother never saw her father again. So communism destroys. It steals from the people. And as you've seen our Secretary of State point out, people end up living in squalor and lack the basic needs that human beings need. (30:02–30:10)
